The Orletborpo Seminary.

Tho announcement elsewhere in this issue
of the opening Of the Oglethorpe Seminary
for girls this fall in Savannah viii doubtless
be received with general satisfaction. 1t is
a singular fact that while Charleston has
nearly always had fine school of this class
it is many years since one existed in Savan-
nah, if indeed any were ever here coming
up to the proper level The result is that
for a long time many daughters of parents
able to afford the expense have been educat-
ed at the North, while at almost any time
equal advantages could have been combined
for them here at far less cost. The item of
cost, however, is not the only consideration
making a finishing school in Sa-
vannah a prime necessity. Equal in
importance and of gravity upon the lives OF
the girls and to the society of which they
subsequently. become members, is the tone
of feeling and thought impaired to them
| by this foreign education, and the loss o.
a sincere appreciation of those things really
admirable in their own city and State Ii
| is most fortunate that a lady of culture and
| capacity has at last undertaken the task OF
bringing together the ability for instruction
in all branches that can be found here, and
of organizing a school which proposes tc
send out its girls as completely educated
and equipped as they would be anywhere
| else. In this there is nothing antagonistiC
to the purposes of public school system
| Education costs money, and it goes without
saying that it is not intended that the public
! schools shall afford all the educational adj
vantages to be found in the best private
| schools where the amount of instruction
given to each girl separately is necessarily
| greater than that furnished by the State OF
city to scholars bearing much larger pro
| portion in number to the teachers. The new
enterprise certainly deserves encourage
ment, and there is every reason to believe
that it will meet with success. Savannah
is a beautiful city and has many attractions
| Why should it not add to its attractions
semiuaries Of such excellence as to draw
students Of both sexes from all parts of this
| State, and even from other States, to enjoy
| its educational facilities.

Gus LOCALITIES.
An adjourned meeting OF the colored
citizens mass.meeting, opposed to taking
the brick building at the intersection OF
Four and-a half street and Maryland av.
enue southwest, was held last evening at
the Israel G. NJ. Church, T. s. Atchson in
the chair, and j. D. Baltimore secretary.
A report was received from the commit
tee appointed to wait upon the District
commissioners to the effect that they had
suggested that the trustees be asked to re-
consider their former action.
The following was adopted.
Whereas the commissioners of the District
OF Columbia did by written formal official
order, addressed to the trustees OF the public
schools, assume the entire control Of the fiscal
affairs OF thv public schools. and did therein
declare that they the commissioners alone
were competent to make contracts which
would be binding upon the District, &C.; and
whereas said commissioners did, In the Oil.
cial order referred to, also maintain That they
had entire control of the management of the
public schools, and that the trustees were SIM
ply their agents in the, performance of such
delegated powers and duties as might from
time to time be conferred upon them by the
commissioners; now therefore
Resolt6d, That the citizens Of this District
under the interpretations of the laws given
by the commissioners are bound TO look to
them the commissioners for redress OF wrongs
complained OF, and for such official action as
Will prevent SERIOUS Marin coming upon tuc
public schools
ResOlred That we respectfully request the
commissioners to see that we are dealt viii
honestly in this matter which we have sub.
mitted to them for consideration and action
and as they have claimed for themselves alone
the legal power and right to act in such public
school matters, that we deem the reference OF
our petition to a body of subordinates inCom-
petent legally to act as highly detrimental to
our rights and best interests as citizens of this
District.
ReSolted That we will, in case of decllna.
tion OF the commissioners to act, deem 1t our
duty, in behalf of the mo ais of the public
schools and the lawful disbursement of the
public school funds, to petition the President
of the United States for redress.
RcsO'ryd That we thank the public press for
the moral support It has given us TO secure our
rights.

The reporter meekly agreed with her,
and asked what the exercises would probl-

MORE FRIGHT THAN FIRE.
Exciting Time for Few Minutes at
willard Hail.

Shortly after o'clock last night, while
the "0role" was in progress at Willard
Hall, on + street, near Fourteenth, vol
ume Of smoke was seen to pour out OF a
small room on the right OF the main en-.
trance. The hall was filled with colored
men, women, and children, and as soon as
the smoke found Its way into the room a
cry Of fire was raised. A panic instantly
seized on all present, and rush was made
for the door. Happily, In the struggle, no
one was injured, and before the place was
cleared the fire department were present,
in answer to an alarm from box 1ij. A
few buckets Of water put out the flames,
and all danger being over the people re-
entered the fair. The cause Of the fire
was due to some one who
threw lighted cigarette In the room
amidst lot Of rubbish. The damage done
amounted to few dollars. The locality OF
the fire drew big crowd of people to the
scene. This fire was hardly extinguished
when the bells were ringing again. The
second alarm was from box 527 and for the
burning Of the blacksmith shop at the
workhouse. The building was rather small
and was quickly consumed. The tools
stored In itwere also destroyed. The cause
Of the fire could not be accounted for, and
the value of the building and its contents
could not be estimated 1t is believed that
$500 would fairly state the amount of
damage done.
